Letter: U.S. should look into outsourcing of prisoners

Here we go again. Judge James Reilley has placed a man on probation for a second or third offense of attempted sexual contact with female minors. I will, however, agree that the district attorney's office played along with the deal, just to get the defendant to a plea bargain.

I also read in Yahoo this morning that a judge gave a man a sentence of one year after he and some of his cohorts beat a man severely, causing him to be hospitalized.

Now I realize that we have more crooks than we have room to place them. Does that say something for our culture? But there is a solution. If the large corporations are able to send their jobs and profits overseas, why can't we send our prisoners overseas and have them serve their sentences there? I am sure those Third World countries would love to have the business. Of course we would have to have our own people supervising, but that's no big deal.

Maybe we have to have a couple of our so-called leaders (judges, mayors, governors, council members, Congress members, etc.) affected, with their own children being victims. Maybe then something will change.

Oh, one last thought. If it's illegal to send our prisoners overseas, then all we do is change the law and the prisoners union can lump it.
